A Quantum-Chemical Study of Tautomeric Equilibria of Fluorescein Dyes in DMSO

  • Published:
Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

We evaluated the relative thermodynamic stability of various molecular and anionic tautomers of fluorescein, its 2,4,5,7-tetrabromo derivative (eosin), and also sulfofluorescein, 4'- and 5'-amino-fluoresceins, and 2,4,5,7-tetranitrofluorescein in DMSO, based on a quantum-chemical investigation; in some cases the calculations were performed for gas phase and aqueous solutions. These results, obtained for 39 structures (15 of which were studied by quantum-chemical methods for the first time) generally agree with the previously published experimental data.
